Works have now been completed a week early with three weekend 47 hour possessions carried out in total.
The teams worked very hard to deliver these works safely and within program. We would like to thank all teams involved for their hard work and professionalism during these works.
Asbestos Trained Staff, CCDO Demolition Operatives, CCDO Burning Operatives, CPCS Plant Operators, Network Rail COSS, RRV POS, RRV COSS, RRV Machine Controllers. Econ’s team included staff who met the following requirements: CPCS, CSCS, CCDO, COSS.
RRV (DX270 with Grab & 4 x Box Trailers), 14t Demolition Excavator, 25t Demolition Excavator, 35t Demolition Excavator, all with Selecta Grab, Breakers and Shears and Oxy/Propane Burning Equipment.
Our Client is extremely pleased at the way we, supported by Econ, have dealt with the situation. From the moment you confirmed that notifiable asbestos was present, a focused, concerted effort has been made by Econ to deal with the problem. The client was impressed at the speed in which Econ tabled a strategic proposal to the HSE to remove the asbestos, working 24/7 non-stop, to expedite the removal. The fact that the proposal, including approval by the HSE, was achieved in such a short timescale is credit to Econ. The proactive approach, while being flexible and accommodating to allow key ECR staff to work in a safe, isolated contained area, has really impressed the Network Rail team.
